All Saints will be participating in the Redner's Save-A-Tape Rewards Program.

The entire receipt is needed for the rewards program; however, credit card information can be crossed out on the receipts.

Hope for the Harvest

We thank God for all of our priests and sisters, however, there is a growing concern for the small amount of these good men and women who are challenged with task of serving the great number of God’s people. Beginning this year, our parish will be participating in a program in the dioceses, called, Hope for the Harvest. This program was formed in the hope of getting more young men and women interested in serving God in the holy Priesthood or consecrated life. This is the final weekend to return the “Called by Name” cards. Please return them in the baskets on the tables in the back of the church.We are inviting parishioners to pray for all young people and if you know of anyone you feel may have a calling by God to serve Him to in this capacity, to talk with either that person or if they are still a minor, to his or her parents and let them know that you would like to submit their names on this “Called by Name” card and either drop it in the basket next to the cards or take it home and after prayerful consideration bring it back by the following weekend. You may also drop it off at the Parish Center.

If you or someone you know feels a calling to a vocation, help yourself to the available material. Contact Joanne Zavitsky at 570-956-0430 with any questions.
